Prep Time: 15 minutes.

Preparation Only

Ingredients

• Juice from 1 POM Wonderful pomegranate*
• 1/3 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful pomegranate (optional)
• 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup red or white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp grated red or brown onion
• 1/2 tsp sugar, or to taste
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper

Preparation Instructions

• Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top.
• Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
• Prepare fresh pomegranate juice.*
• In a screw-top jar or plastic container with tight-fitting lid, combine juice, the 1/3 cup arils and remaining dressing ingredients.
• Cover and shake well. Set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 days, before serving.

 *For 1 cup of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.
